Community Round Poll
Would you invest $100 in BackerKit?
Crowdfunding isn’t just about raising money, it’s about connection. It’s where creators turn their dreams into reality with the support of people who share their passion. At BackerKit, we help creators fund their ideas, deliver on promises, and build lasting relationships with their communities.
Please tell us if you're interested in investing. If there's enough demand, we'll open a Community Round.
A letter from the founder
Max here, co-founder of BackerKit. I want to share why we're launching a community round on Wefunder and why we'd love for you to be part of it!
Crowdfunding creators already knew they needed BackerKit after raising money. Then, we took it further with the ultimate end-to-end solution: BackerKit Crowdfunding. Our fastest-growing product ever, and creators are seeing their biggest projects yet with us. Now, we’re disrupting crowdfunding altogether, and growing the market. We want you to be a part of what’s next!
Back in 2013, my co-founder Rosanna and I built BackerKit because we saw the challenge firsthand: raising money from backers is incredible, but managing everything that comes next is tough—and not sustainable for long-term business growth. Since then, we’ve managed over $3.7B in funds from 15 million backers and paid out $650M to creators. 1 in 4 dollars raised on Kickstarter runs through BackerKit.
We've spent over a decade helping creators succeed—and learning exactly what holds them back. Creators started telling us crowdfunding wasn't fueling growth like it used to. Platforms got stale. Social media fragmented. The old playbook simply wasn't working.
Meanwhile other parts of the creator economy were thriving and there was a rising consumer demand for fan-driven communities and experiences. So we built BackerKit Crowdfunding—and it's taking off! We’ve launched the largest crowdfunding campaign of any platform since 2022, have seen 4x growth in projects launched, and our pledge volume has been doubling year over year.
Just like our first-to-market launch of Pledge Manager, it’s in our DNA to innovate for creators: we recently pioneered Collaborative Crowdfunding, and you can expect us to keep breaking the old rules that limit creators.
We're raising this round to stay independent, accelerate growth, and reinvent crowdfunding for the creator economy. We believe crowdfunding should work better—more fans, more funds, more fun—and we're building the future to make that happen.
If you believe in a better future for crowdfunding, now's the time to join us.
